jev-lens
Chrome extension that badges X and LinkedIn posts READ, MAYBE or SKIP against your plain-English interest profile as you scroll.
Overview
Jev Lens is a Chrome extension that judges every X and LinkedIn post as it scrolls into view, badging it READ, MAYBE or SKIP using Jev against an interest profile you write in plain English. READ posts get a green border and SKIP posts fade out; ads and promoted posts are skipped without a call. It uses your own API key and profile, with no keyword lists or cloud account of the author's.
The author argues keyword filters cannot tell a build log from a certificate announcement and asking an LLM per post is slow and costly, while Jev answers in about 300 ms at roughly 3 cents per 1,000 posts by the README's estimate. It installs unpacked in developer mode and stays idle until a key is configured. A companion blog post explains Jev and RLCD for testers.
